ANSWER KEY

Mostly As: You are a Barn Owl Carpe Diem! You’ve never let anyone tell you what to do with your life, least of all your parents. There’s no problem you can’t solve with a halter top and an ice luge. You never say no to anything, which is how you ended up nude zip-lining through Rio that Tuesday. Your bills can wait (they have been for months, anyway), there’s a Sunday Funday bar crawl calling your name.

Mostly Bs: You are a Secretary Bird All we can say is congratulations. Congrats on being valedictorian of your high school. Congrats on graduating summa cum laude. Congrats on being the best at everything and stomping your opponents into the ground. Who cares if you don’t have “real friends”? If you cared about that, you’d be the best at that, too.

Mostly C’s: You are a Golden Eagle Good for you for taking time away from your hemp macrame workshop to take this quiz. You are deeply connected to the earth and all living things, hence your obsession with natural deodorant and brushing your teeth with mint leaves instead of toothpaste. No one ever has to ask you how you’re feeling because your mood jewelry tells them everything they need to know. Namaste.

Mostly Ds: You are a Carrion Crow With one of the highest brain to body ratios of all animals, you have excellent tool-crafting skills. Whether you are working alone or in a group, your ability to estimate size and weight of objects is extremely accurate. You never forget a face, and that’s because you have excellent human facial recognition skills and can draw connections between humans and their homes or cars. While your memorization of the garbage collection schedule is strong, your language skills are unparalleled, regardless of which regional dialect you are using.
